Pricing
We built Surfsky to handle enterprise-scale automation but kept the pricing simple. No complex credit systems, no hidden fees, no surprises. Pick a plan, add proxies if needed, and you're good to go.
How Our Pricing Works
Simple and transparent. Every plan includes:
- Real Chrome browsers with JavaScript
- Anti-bot protection and fingerprinting
- All features unlocked from day one
The only variables? How many browsers you need, whether you bring your own proxies, and if you need CAPTCHA solving beyond the free tier.
Getting Started
- Pick a plan based on concurrent browsers - check our pricing page
- Decide on proxies (yours or ours)
- Contact our team
Need custom pricing or volume discounts? Let's talk.
What You'll Pay
Three components make up your total cost:
1. Your Plan
Fixed monthly cost based on concurrent browser limit. All features included.
2. Proxies (Optional)
Bring your own or use ours. See our Proxy Guide for options.
3. CAPTCHA Solving (As Needed)
- Contact support to activate CAPTCHA solving
- Usage-based pricing after activation
- Details in our CAPTCHA docs
Proxy costs are separate from your subscription. Using your own proxies? No extra charges. Need ours? Check the Proxy Guide for pricing.
Calculating Your Capacity
Let's figure out what you can do with each plan.
Available Browser Hours
Simple math - browsers × hours × days:
Starter (8 browsers):
8 × 24 hours × 30 days = 5,760 browser-hours/month
Basic (16 browsers):
16 × 24 hours × 30 days = 11,520 browser-hours/month
Advanced (32 browsers):
32 × 24 hours × 30 days = 23,040 browser-hours/month
Real-World Performance
Based on actual usage across typical sites:
Single Browser Performance
- Scraping: ~10 pages/minute (612/hour)
- Automation: ~5 actions/minute (327/hour)
Monthly Capacity by Plan
| Plan | Browsers | Daily Scraping | Monthly Scraping | Daily Actions | Monthly Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 8 | 117,504 | 3.5M | 62,784 | 1.9M |
| Basic | 16 | 235,008 | 7M | 125,568 | 3.8M |
| Advanced | 32 | 470,016 | 14M | 251,136 | 7.5M |

These are estimates. Your actual numbers depend on:
- Target site response times
- Network conditions
- Task complexity
- Proxy performance
- Required delays between actions

Understanding True Costs
The subscription is just part of it. Here's what really impacts your budget:
The Proxy Factor
Proxies often cost more than the subscription itself. At scale, they can be 90% of your total cost.
Quick Math:
- Full page load: ~2.5 MB
- DOM only: ~0.5 MB (80% savings!)
- At $3/GB for proxies, 1 million requests costs:
- Full pages: $7,500
- DOM only: $1,500
Smart proxy usage saves thousands.
Cost Per 1000 (CPM)
Here's how to calculate your real costs:
CPM = (Monthly Cost / Total Requests) × 1000
Monthly Cost = Subscription + Proxy Traffic + CAPTCHA Solving
Real Examples
Let's compare costs for processing millions of requests:
Assumptions:
- 1MB average page size
- 4 seconds per request
- $3/GB residential proxies
| Starter (3.8M) | Basic (7.6M) | Advanced (15.2M) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Without Proxies | |||
| Subscription | $549 | $749 | $949 |
| CPM | $0.14 | $0.10 | $0.06 |
| With Proxies | |||
| Subscription | $549 | $749 | $949 |
| Proxy Cost | $11,400 | $22,800 | $45,600 |
| Total | $11,949 | $23,549 | $46,549 |
| CPM | $3.14 | $3.10 | $3.06 |
Key takeaways:
- Higher volume = better per-request pricing
- Proxies dominate the cost at scale
- Optimizing proxy usage is crucial
These examples show why proxy optimization matters. The difference between loading full pages and just the DOM can save you thousands per month.
